Hands On Judging Contest
Participants will evaluate and place a class of 4 animals. These animals have been previously evaluated and placed by the ARBA Judge.
- An ARBA Standard of Perfection will be available for contestants to use as they judge the class. Contestants will have seven minutes for this evaluation. Answers will be recorded on a judging contest placing card.
- Based on the class placement of the ARBA Judge, a Standardized Hormel Computing Slide used for scoring judging contests, will determine how close each participant is to the judge's placement and how many points each participant will earn for the class.
- Tiebreakers / call-backs will be provided when necessary.
- A review of class placement will be conducted at the conclusion of the contest.
Judging
- Rabbits are evaluated using the American Rabbit Breeder’s Association Standard of Perfection.
- All rabbits must be tattooed in the left ear before check-in time. (No tattooing at the show.)
- Exhibitors may enter two rabbits per class per breed. No rabbit may enter more than one class.
- Classes will be determined by the superintendents based on the number of entries. Breeds with less than five will be grouped as both All Other Breeds (AOB) Large Breed and (AOB) Small Breed.
- Ribbons will be given to first through fifth place in class, Best of Breed and Best Opposite Sex of Breed. Scholarship monies of $100 and $50 will be given for the Best in Show and Best Opposite Sex in Show.
